Now Variety has confirmed that Grillo, who appeared earlier
this year in The Grey, will play Brock Rumlow, better known as Crossbones, in
Marvel Studios' Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
First introduced in the comics in the late 1980's,
Crossbones is better known today for his major role in Ed Brubaker's modern arc
on "Captain America." A highly trained mercenary working for the Red
Skull, Crossbones played a major role in the assassination of Steve Rogers
following Marvel's "Civil War."
Many fans are excited for Crossbones addition to the film,
as many fans speculated that Crossbones would be featured in the film, along
with Baron Zemo. Nothing as been confirmed to Zemo’s inclusion in the film, but
we sure we will here something solid pretty soon.
Director Joe Carnahan (Smokin’ Aces, The Grey) tweeted a few
days ago saying: @carnojoe “A friend of a friend who witnessed @FrankGrillo's
Marvel screen test in person said 'He made the other actors look like
extras...” Well that sounds like Grillo will have quite the memorable
performance.

In more Winter Soldier news, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) will
be aided by some familiar faces as Variety has learned that Samuel L. Jackson,
Scarlett Johansson and Cobie Smulders will reprise their respective roles as
Nick Fury, Black Widow and Agent Maria Hill.
And we have news that Jessica Brown Findlay, who plays Lady
Sybil Branson in "Downton Abbey," is rumored to be the frontrunner
for the role of Captain America's leading lady, which we all thinking is Sharon
Carter.
